Orhan Mosque, Ottoman mosque in İzmit, Turkey.
The Orhan Mosque features a quadrangular plan with stone and brick walls, combining an external wooden roof with an internal vaulted ceiling.
Built in the early 14th century during the Ottoman Empire's expansion, this mosque was commissioned by Süleyman Şah, the son of Sultan Orhan Gazi.
The mosque maintains a 120-year-old tradition where the imam delivers Friday sermons while holding a sword, symbolizing Turkish sovereignty.
Located on a central hill of Old İzmit, the mosque provides visitors with directional signs from Bağçeşme square for straightforward navigation.
From the mosque's garden, visitors can observe extensive views of İzmit and watch the sun setting over İzmit Bay.
